This creates an ergonomic picking environment with a clear boundary between people and automation while keeping throughput high for e-commerce, spare parts, industry, and other dynamic operations.
Goods-to-Person Picking
Light-guided picking at ergonomic goods-to-person stations
Market trend
Why goods-to-person continues to gain relevance
More automation, still flexible picking
As AS/RS, shuttle systems, AGVs, and compact storage grow, manual picking remains the flexible final step, changing assortments, and mixed orders.
Higher throughput at the station
When products come to the worker instead of the worker walking through the warehouse, more time goes into picking and less into searching and travel.
Better ergonomics and safer layouts
Goods-to-person stations support a clean separation between worker area and automated transport area, reducing traffic conflicts and creating a more stable workstation.
A practical human-machine boundary
Automation handles storage and transport, while people contribute dexterity, judgement, and speed in the final handling step where flexibility matters most.
Process
How the solution works at the picking station
Automated presentation
Totes, bins, or shelves are transported automatically to the goods-to-person workstation.
Exact visual guidance
Logistic Lights highlights the correct source compartment and, where needed, the right target order position.
Fast human handling
The operator picks, confirms, and moves directly to the next position without unnecessary walking or searching.
Continuous station flow
The next storage unit arrives automatically so the station stays productive even with high order dynamics.
Workstation concept
Built for ergonomic, automation-ready picking environments
Goods-to-person stations are especially strong where a warehouse wants the efficiency of automated storage and transport but still needs people at the final pick step. This applies to fast-moving e-commerce, spare parts, mixed assortments, or operations with frequent exceptions.
The workstation becomes the defined point where automation and people meet. Logistic Lights adds clear worker guidance with light so source bins, target bins, and compartment structures remain easy to understand even in dense and dynamic setups.
- Clear separation between worker zone and AGV, shuttle, or AKL area
- Reduced walking and searching at the workstation
- Easy visual orientation in compartmentalized bins and shelves
- Suitable for manual flexibility in highly automated environments
- Open integration into existing WMS, ERP, and station control logic

Benefits
Why Logistic Lights fits goods-to-person workstations
Compartment-level guidance
Guide workers directly inside bins, trays, or shelves instead of only to the station itself.
Ergonomic station support
Reduce searching, reduce hesitation, and support a calm, structured picking sequence.
Flexible hardware choice
Use proven spots or projector-based guidance depending on geometry, density, and visibility requirements.
Open integration
Keep the surrounding process logic in your WMS, ERP, or station control environment while Logistic Lights handles worker guidance with light.
